Engine Oil Level Gauge - Calibrate
If the oil level gauge is not marked, the oil level gauge requires calibration. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the procedure to calibrate the oil level gauge.
Calibrating the Oil Level Gauge for Full Load Operation
The oil level gauge can be marked in order to be checked while the engine is operating at full load. This will eliminate the need to reduce the engine speed to low idle in order to check the oil level.
- Ensure that the crankcase oil level is full.
- Operate the engine at full load. Ensure that the engine operation is normal and stable.
- Ensure that the oil level gauge is seated. Remove the oil level gauge. Observe the oil level on the oil level gauge.
- Engrave a mark for the oil level on the oil level gauge. Label the mark "FULL LOAD". Install the oil level gauge.
